Heather Jeanne Fong (Chinese: 方宇文; pinyin: Fāng Yǔwén,[1] born 1956) is an American security official and the former chief of police for San Francisco, California, United States from 2004 to 2009.

In 1996, Chief Fred Lau assigned Fong to captain the department's Central Station, which oversees Chinatown, North Beach, Union Square and the Financial District.

In June 2000, upon promotion to deputy chief, she was assigned to the Field Operations Bureau, where she managed the uniformed patrol personnel of the San Francisco Police Department.

Fong drew criticism in June 2008 for failing to complete firearm recertification for over five years though all San Francisco police officers are required to recertify annually by department regulations.

They tested for Q-35 jobs as inspectors 10 years prior, but Fong has decided to eliminate that position, and fill those investigative roles with Q-50 sergeants.

The San Francisco Police Commission subsequently determined that Fong had acted improperly, and that personnel from the 1998 Q-35 inspectors list should have been hired instead of sergeants.

[12] The high amount of pension payments to Fong and other retired top officials in San Francisco's police and fire departments has prompted critical comment.
